Common Questions About Raising Prices
What if I lose all my clients?
Research shows that well-executed price increases typically result in less than 10% client loss, which is quickly offset by higher revenue from remaining clients and new clients at the higher rate.
How much should I increase my prices?
Most successful businesses start with increases between 20-50% based on market research and their unique value proposition. The examples shared today showed increases from 30-50% with positive results.
When is the best time to raise prices?
Consider raising prices when you're consistently booked, receiving positive feedback, or have enhanced your offerings. Many businesses time increases with the new year or their business anniversary.
How do I handle clients who push back?
Listen to their concerns, reaffirm your value, and consider offering a phased approach to the new pricing. Sometimes, it's better to let price-sensitive clients go to make room for those who value your work appropriately.
